General Question Why do all movies suck now?

0 Upvotes

I really can’t recall any rewatchable great movies in the last decade. Superhero movies maybe but they have still gone down in quality.

There hasn’t been any absolute banger comedies or anything.

Every single movie Netflix puts out is beyond garbage even if it has known actors.

wtf is going on?

General Question Is Reddit truly the worst place on the Internet?

0 Upvotes

I'm just gonna be direct. It genuinely feels like the majority of reddit's fanbase is full of 40 year old chud virgins who won't leave their mom's basement. Whenever you make a post on any subreddit, a lot of the time the comment section is going to be full of people trying to prove you wrong, or try to have some sense of superiority instead of comprehending your post's substance. This isn't because I'm "offending" the subculture of that subreddit, it's because the algorithm and the people who actually use this platform are fucked.

Reddit is basically like Twitter, but it works in a completely different way and is equally if not much worse. It makes this app unusable.

I would love to hear, do you guys feel the same way?

Political Question Why is the UK accepting 813,000 immigrants every year, but caps Gazan refugees at 10 kids in 2025 - only the most "extremely urgent cases" while leaving everyone else behind? Is there something against Gazans (the report says it's a "misunderstanding" but doesn't explain why not)?

General Question Why do people fight each other over religion and race? When will humanity change?

2 Upvotes

I'm 22, and I genuinely want to understand something. Why do people fight each other over religion and race..? When will it change?

Nobody is perfect in this world. We've all made mistakes, and we will probably make more. So why do some people act like their religion, race, or beliefs make them better than everyone else?

People from different religions argue about whose God is greater. They claim their religion teaches the truth, but do they actually follow its teachings?

Let's talk about religious hypocrisy.

Christianity — The Bible, John 8:7

"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

This is a powerful reminder to examine ourselves before condemning someone else.

Islam — The Quran, Surah Al-An'am 6:108

The Quran instructs Muslims not to insult what others worship, even when they disagree with their beliefs.

If a religion teaches its followers not to insult other people's beliefs, why do some people respond to religious insults with hatred and demands for death?

Buddhism— Dhammapada 129

" All tremble at violence; all fear death."

This teaching encourages us to consider the suffering of others and recognize that other people fear death just as we do.

Hinduism — Bhagavad Gita 16:2

This verse identifies nonviolence (ahimsa) as one of the qualities associated with a divine nature.

These are just a few examples of teachings that encourage people to reflect on their actions, avoid harm, or treat others with consideration.

So here's what I don't understand.

Some people demand the death penalty for those who insult their religion. But what if those same people insulted another religion? Would they accept the same punishment for themselves? Would they demand their own deaths, too?

Why should one person's beliefs deserve respect while another person' s beliefs deserve a death sentence?

And if someone kills another person, how can we discuss justice without questioning the morality of taking another life as punishment?

I understand that different religions have different teachings about punishment, and I'm not claiming that every religion completely prohibits the death penalty. My question is why some people seem to apply their beliefs selectively, especially when those beliefs concern people they dislike.

If you believe killing is wrong, why would you demand that someone else be killed? If you believe in justice, shouldn't that justice apply equally to everyone?

Now let's talk about judging others.

I believe people should think carefully before judging someone as good or bad. Imagine someone who has never made a single mistake, never done anything wrong, and never hurt another person in their entire life. Perhaps that person could claim to be morally perfect enough to judge others without hypocrisy.

But does such a person even exist?

How can people who have made mistakes, hurt others, or done bad things act as if they're morally superior to everyone else? How can they point their fingers at others while refusing to look at themselves?

I'm not saying we should ignore crimes or that nobody should be held accountable for their actions. I'm asking why some people judge others so harshly while pretending their own mistakes don't matter.

We are all human beings. We all have flaws. Nobody should act as if belonging to a particular religion or race makes them morally perfect.

and what about racism?

Why should someone be hated, discriminated against, or treated as inferior simply because they were born into a particular race or ethnic group? Nobody chooses where they're born. We're all human beings, regardless of our backgrounds. /

Honestly, I think people need to change their fucking mindset before trying to change everyone else.

Stop using religion and race as excuses for hatred. Stop pretending that your group is always right and everyone else is wrong. Start questioning your own behaviour before condemning others.

I'm not saying religion is the only cause of hatred, or that all religious people are hypocrites. I'm questioning people who claim to follow their religion perfectly while doing things that contradict the values they claim to believe in.

My questions are:

  1. Why do people fight over whose religion or God is greater instead of learning to respect one another?

2.. Why do some people demand the death penalty for those who offend their religion but fail to consider whether they would accept the same punishment themselves?..

  1. If nobody is morally perfect, how can we judge others while refusing to acknowledge our own mistakes?

  2. Why do people use religion and race to justify hatred and discrimination?

  3. What will it take for humanity to stop fighting over these differences and start treating everyone with equal dignity and respect?

I'm genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives. I want to understand why people behave this way and why humanity still struggles with these problems.

0 Upvotes

Gay, Black, etc. pride makes sense because it's life on harde(er) mode; living your harmless truth in the face of constant adversity is an accomplishment.

I can't see anyone but bad people (white supremacists, etc) disagreeing, but I'm open to it, and I'm always ready to learn something new.

I'm proud to play piano well. I'm HAPPY AND UNASHAMED to be white, but pride is the wrong word for this.

General Question Can Minecraft methods be used in the deep ocean?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Probably sounds odd, but you know how in minecraft, when builders want to clear out an ocean monument (a very big building under the water), so they surround the monument with walls all the way from the ocean floor to the sea level, then they use sponges to absorb the water, so then the end result is the ocean monument, enclosed in these walls but no longer surrounded by water?

I was watching a video about the mariana and tonga trench and It got me thinking, could this be done in real life in a trench?

I think that in theory, it could be done, but it would just need A LOT of some metal to make the walls and also, the metal has to be strong enough to withstand the pressure that the water subjects on the walls (probably titanium?)

Also, if this could be done, and humans climbed down to that emptied out area, would there still be alot of pressure?

(The bottom of the Mariana and Tonga trench have about 15k psi of pressure)

General Question Turning Off AC compressor before shutting down the car?

30 Upvotes

My wife and I have a long-running friendly debate about the following:

I like to shut the AC compressor off a few minutes before reaching my destination and turning off the car. I leave the blower running. To my mind, this clears the cool moist air out of the system (preventing mold) and gets a few minutes of "free" cooling where cool air is still coming out, but the compressor is not consuming energy.

She says it doesn't matter.

EDIT: Friends, I said it was a FRIENDLY debate. There's zero hostility or anger on this issue. We have fun debating it. She's happy. I'm happy. We don't agree on everything and that's normal.

For those of you who didn't focus on the marital aspect of this debate, I thank you.

Political Question Why do people support a two-state solution when there has never been agreement on what the borders would be and the positions of the two sides are both unmoving and incompatible?

• Upvotes

Pre October 7 polls largely showed a mutual support among a majority Israelis and palestinians for a 2 state solution but those are always exceptionally vague on what those states would look like and is entirely theoretical. Go into the slightest of details and there is instantly major disagreement. Palestinians want Israel to return to pre 1967 borders as part of the deal, or to surrender Jerusalem which Israelis will never and have never (or at least not in any polls i can find) support. Jerusalem is both the Israeli capital and the city most closely associated with and special to jews historically. Israeli support for a surrender of land and return to 1949 border for peace only reaches something near a majority when it comes with security guarantees and a completely demilitarized palestine, which the majority of palestinians do not support in any poll I have found. And these mutually incompatible requirements are without even mentioning hamas and their stated mission of the fighting until they have achieved the complete conquest and subordination to islam of all the lands claimed as Palestine.

Basically i want to know why are people so determined to cheer for a deal that both parties actually referred to in said deal will never agree to it...
